Form is the heartbeat of your squad. It fluctuates based on match performance, training, and how actively you manage your players. Good managers keep form high through smart rotation and timely training.
After matches form shifts based on performance rating. Great performances boost form while poor ones lower it. The effect scales with minutes played so a player who plays 90 minutes gets the full effect, while a 15-minute sub gets a smaller shift.
Idle decay kicks in when players don't play for more than a week. Their form gradually drops and the longer they sit, the faster it falls (down to a floor of 8). Training protects against this.
High-form regression means form above 14 naturally drifts down over time. Maintaining elite form (15+) requires consistent good performances.
Goalkeepers receive a rating bonus for clean sheets, ensuring they benefit from strong defensive performances.
Training takes 3 days to complete and costs 100 Rivs per player.
Results are variable. Players with low form benefit the most, while players already in great form see diminishing returns.
Players can still play matches while training. It doesn't affect availability.
Players in training are protected from idle decay.
If a player picks up an injury during a match, any in-progress training is automatically cancelled with no refund. Suspended players continue training normally.
1. A player has low form (training is most effective below 12 bars)
2. A player hasn't played recently (training prevents idle decay)
3. A player has just recovered from injury
4. Before the season update to maximise average form
At the end of each season, your player's average form across the season determines whether their rating goes up or down. Players need 10+ average form bars for their rating to increase. Below 10, they risk declining.
Both form changes and growth scale with minutes played. Giving a young player 60+ minutes develops them significantly more than a 5-minute cameo.
This makes substitution timing a real tactical decision, especially for developing youth players.
Rotate your squad, train smart, and give youth players real game time.
